Wow! 16 Weeks!!!

(Ok thats it! I need to start touching up my make up for these pics, but I felt so bad when this was taken last night, I didn't care)How far along? 16 weeks

How big is Baby? 4 1/2 inches and the size of an avacado!

Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds (I have not gained any this week, because I was so sick, I actually lost some which brought me to about 8 pounds total)

Maternity clothes? very comfy and need moreStretch marks? No, let's pray it stays that way!Sleep: My compressed nerve is back at it. Still sleeping ok, but not great.Best moment this week: scheduling my BIG ultrasound!Movement: Almost positive I'm feeling something now. It is questionable, but it is getting more frequent when I'm really still and at the ER they had to chase baby down and I felt the same thing while it was moving around.Food cravings: Not much of anything right now, still trying to get my appetite back from the weekend.Gender: Will find out two weeks from today! So excited!!! We have also set our gender reveal party for Feb 20 at 7:00!!!!Labor Signs: none, thank goodness!Belly Button in or out? In and I pray it stays that way. Ha!What I am looking forward to: my big US!!!Milestones: making it this far

I had my 16 week appt this morning and all is great! Baby's HR was 145 and now they are saying boy. Who knows! Ha! I had a quad screen lab drawn to check for spina bifida (and other things, but that is what we are most concerned about). They also set my appt for our BIG anatomy scan for two weeks from today (February 10)!!!! I am so excited! Apparently the high risk dr (ROC if you are in Chattanooga) has awesome US capabilities and that is why we are going. Please keep praying that baby is healthy and it would be awesome if he/she cooperates and shows us if he/she is a Lilly or a Nicholas! :-)

One last thing...does anyone in Chattanooga area want to join me for prenatal yoga on Wednesday nights at 5:45? I found a place offering a class in North Shore.

Glad you're doing better! Cannot wait top hear what you're having! Are those the two names that won out? I like Nicholas; it's my fiance's middle name. Lilly is a sweet girl name! I'm so excited for you!
